For the first time since
2003, NBC's primetime lineup has delivered No. 1 ratings in adults 18-49 for
the November sweep, rising from a No. 4 ranking in the November period one year
ago to a No. 1 finish this year, according to "live plus same day" viewership
data from Nielsen Media Research.

With 25 of 28 nights counted
in the November sweep, NBC is averaging a 2.8 rating, up 17 percent versus
NBC's 2.4 rating at the conclusion the November 2011 sweep. In averages through
Sunday, Nov. 18, NBC leads sweep runner-up CBS by 0.4 of a point or 17 percent,
with Monday through Wednesday results yet to be factored into sweep averages.
If NBC finishes the sweep with that 17 percent margin, it will match the
biggest advantage for any network in a November sweep since NBC won by 19
percent in 2002 (Fox also won by 17 percent in 2009).

NBC is also No. 1 for the
sweep through 25 nights in adults 25-54, adults 18-34 and all key adult-male
demographics.

If NBC maintains its 2.8
rating in adults 18-49 through the conclusion of the sweep, it would be its
highest-rated November sweep since 2008 (2.8). In total viewers, NBC's current
average of 7.9 million would be its highest for a November since 2007. The
sweep concludes Wednesday night, Nov. 21, and Nielsen is scheduled to have
"live plus same day" official national results for the full 28-day period on
Monday, Nov. 26.

For the November sweep, NBC's
"Sunday Night Football" ranked as the No. 1 primetime series on ABC, CBS, NBC
and Fox in adults 18-49, averaging a 7.6 rating in "live plus same day." "The
Voice" (4.5 with its Monday edition) was the No. 1 unscripted series of the sweep,
"Revolution" (2.8) was the No. 1 new drama and "Go On" (2.2) was the No. 1 new
comedy.

"SNF" was the No. 1 primetime
show of the sweep on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in total viewers; adults 18-34, 18-49
and 25-54; men 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54; and teens 12-17. Monday's "Voice" was No.
1 on those networks in women 18-34.
